No bullets were discharged, and no one was hurt, but Lambert was charged with having a gun while intoxicated and inducing panic.

It's the second blemish on her record in nine months.

On April 29, Lambert was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence after Blue Ash police Officer Jason Asbury noticed her car speeding across a median on State Route 126.

Officer Asbury tried to perform a sobriety test on Lambert, but the test ended abruptly when Lambert was asked to walk in a straight line.

Officer Asbury: "Then take nine more steps back, OK? One, two, three, all the way until you get to nine."Lambert: "You want to do this?"Officer Asbury: "You understand everything so far?"Lambert: "Do you want to do this?"Officer Asbury: "Yeah, do you want to do this? I'm asking you. Are you going to perform these tests?"Lambert: (inaudible)Officer Asbury: "You're not going to perform these tests? OK, ma'am. Turn around and face the car."

Lambert refused to take a Breathalyzer test and pleaded guilty a few weeks later to an amended charge of reckless operation of a vehicle.

A written reprimand was added to her Cincinnati Police Department personnel file. Until that happened, Lambert's file had been largely filled with words of praise, including a quote from a supervisor that reads, "Sergeant Lambert has a strong sense of right and wrong and expects others to adhere to those values."

A review in 2014 noted Lambert, who's assigned to Cincinnati Police District Four, "exceeds standards" when it comes to decision-making.
